Julio! You are a wild man with your truck! I like the addition you made to your front bumper! Whats going on with your headache rack? Looks like it runs between the cab and bed all the way down to the frame.............how did you make that work? any more pics? I really love you rig man- Keep up the awesome work!
Well, the bed is actually more than it seems.
The stock bed was cracked cause of all the flex, so I decided to build another bed , bob it and hang the sheetmetal.

The headache rack is built into the bed.
The bed is bolted to the frame, and the rear of the bed pivots in the middle of th frame to allow for frame flex.
The sliders also bolt into the bed frame.

I had the tapered blocks machined out of steel, cause i've had aluminum ones break and center bolt pins break.
My truck has about 7 inched total lift.
It just looks tall cause of the 43" tires.
I had to modify lots of sheetmetal to make them fit.
43" swampers are probably slightly taller than radial 40" tires case they always run kinda small and radials are usually closer to real size.
I had tried superduty spring up front also, but they are longer than my old springs, and caused issues cause they pushed my axle further back and my shackle angle was too flat .
Stock springs should work fine with shackle reversal.
